The articles on Tariff Reform" by Henry
l.. Boltwood, the third of which appears in
today's FREE TRADER are attracting consid
cradle attention both in this county and else
where. Today Bradner A. James, q protec.
tiontst OF the most pronounced type, presents
his reply TO what Mr. Boltwood has hereto
fore said and promises in the future to con
tlnue the discussion. Mr.. James may be
very good lover of his country and his
literary style is readable, but his arguments
are merest sophism. Mr.. Boltwood has
nothing to fear from discussion Of the tariff
question. He will find that the people ar,
with him and not against him, and that frsA
discussion of the question will but advance
the cause which he presents. We are GLAD
though, that Mr.. James has taken up the
protection side and we trust he will con
tinue to send his views to US.

Parsons last plea. 1t was issued over his

occupies himself exclusively with sketch
of his own life, particularly his actions as
leader of the newly-liberated negroes dur
